Proverbs 1:27-30

27When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

29For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

30They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

All the rituals in the old testament were temporary until full filled .The dark place is the Holy of Holy s inside the Temple where there was no light .

Revelation 21:2-4
2 Then I, John,[a] saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying,“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

Hey Bobbbbbbb....that's just 3.

I've got 133 more...if you really want to go over them.

CONTRADICTORY DOCTRINES BETWEEN MATTHEW
AND MARK
In the New Testament (Mark xvi, 16), it is said "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned." This is making salvation, or, in other words, the happiness of man after this life, to depend entirely on believing, or on what Christians call faith.

But The Gospel according to Matthew makes Jesus Christ preach a direct contrary doctrine to The Gospel according to Mark; for it makes salvation, or the future happiness of man, to depend entirely on good works; and those good works are not works done to God, for He needs them not, but good works done to man.

The passage referred to in Matthew is the account there given of what is called the last day, or the day of judgment, where the whole world is represented to be divided into two parts, the righteous and the unrighteous, metaphorically called the sheep and the goats. To the one part called the righteous, or the sheep, it says, "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world: for I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

Here is nothing about believing in Christ - nothing about that phantom of the imagination called Faith. The works here spoken of are works of humanity and benevolence, or, in other words, an endeavor to make God's creation happy.

Here is nothing about preaching and making long prayers, as if God must be dictated to by man; nor about building churches and meetings, nor hiring priests to pray and preach in them. Here is nothing about predestination, that lust which some men have for damning one another.

Here is nothing about baptism, whether by sprinkling or plunging, nor about any of those ceremonies for which the Christian Church has been fighting, persecuting, and burning each other ever since the Christian Church began.

If it be asked, why do not priests preach the doctrine contained in this chapter, the answer is easy: they are not fond of practicing it themselves. It does not answer for their trade. They had rather get than give. Charity with them begins and ends at home.

Had it been said, Come ye blessed, ye have been liberal in paying the preachers of the world, ye have contributed largely towards building churches and meeting-houses, there is not a hired priest in Christendom but would have thundered it continually in the ears of his congregation. But as it is altogether on good works done to men, the priests pass over it in silence, and they will abuse me for bringing it into notice.

1 Corinthians 2:13-15
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy[a] Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

You want to prove the Bible wrong, and you're not interested in any explanation from me , except for an opening to ridicule me or the Bible . Why should I waste my time with arguing ,if you don't believe so be it . Why are you so obsessed with what others believe .

First YOU asked, "What contradictions?"

Now I have laid out the first three.

I know it makes you uncomfortable...but the constant preaching of baloney makes ME uncomfortable.

Second, IF you folks are going to quote a flawed book, the FLAWS are open to be revealed.

Arguing? No. Demonstrating fact.

Are YOU arguing or demonstrating faith?

Why so interested in what others believe? The same reason that I am interested in what ANY mind control group believes. To get to the truth.

Do you folks REALLY believe that EVERY word of that book is the INSPIRED WORD of God?

If so, how do you justify the contradictions?

No fluffy bunny cute crap. No quotes.

Use YOUR brain instead of your feelings and tell me HOW do you justify all the contradictions.

If you are afraid to take on the BIG challenge...perhaps you are really afraid that your faith will not sustain you.

After all...wasn't "Christ" ridiculed and persecuted? And John the Baptist? And Moses? And Noah?

They didn't quit because they got the hard questions...

...or was it all a fabrication?

Oh...and Bobbbbb...you are not "explaining" anything.

You are doing the old Christian cut and paste and hoping I'll go away.

But I won't.

Quotes from a flawed script mean nothing.

I really don't care what you think . I've argued with skeptic after skeptic and found no sound reason for it . If you don't like what I post ,don't read it .

Right back atcha, Bobbbbb.

Skeptic - One who will not believe without proof.

Fanatic - One who needs no proof and follows blindly.

You posed the question to me...

...now you duck and run.

Are all you "christians" that weak?
